So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

I dreamed about an awesome movie called Legitimate. Halle Berry was a therapist and an arsonist. One of her patients (Gerard Butler) robbed an Egyptian artifacts museum and then went back to it while his partner waited outside in the getaway car. It turned into a carpet store. He lurked in a corner of wind-chimes and empty birdcages, stalking some blonde lady who was a realtor or lawyer or something. Then he came outside to see his driver with a bloody nose but still okay to drive so there was a car chase. Then Dr. Halle Berry beat Gerard up and fucked him and then beat him up again. John C. Reilly was in it, even though it was a serious movie, as an insurance agent for the museum and he was suspicious of everyone.

I'm going to go see Gravity in a little over an hour! I'm expecting quite a lot since the reviews have been amazing. Oh, I'll go see it in 3D by the way... Scary, I'm not a 3D fan, but since the movie isn't that long and there won't be insane action, it should be okay.

The Counsellor, the drug trade movie written by Cormac McCarthy, was interesting but not as extreme as I expected, even though there are some very good scenes. Irina might like it, there's Michael Eye-candy Fassbender in it. Also, special mention for Javier Bardem : this guy is consistently good in everything.

I've read so many bad reviews about that movie! I had already decided to not go see it at the movies anymore. The story supposedly sucked, among other things. Did you enjoy it?

I loved Gravity. Never seen anything like it. It was beautiful, and it made me extremely uncomfortable at the same time.

It is definitely tense here and there. There were a few scenes that reminded me of the feeling of being caught underwater. I got close to hyperventilating a couple times haha.

I'm curious to see this movie in just a regular theater, without the 3D. That seems to be what really made it great. When that bolt came flying at the camera, I literally reached out to stop it from hitting me. That's impressive that a movie was able to do that.

But I'm not sure if it's that good just as a movie. There's no real story to it. It's all just one long action sequence. The stuff with her and her kid just seemed to build the character so you were invested and cared about if she makes it or not. That's not really a plot.

I don't think it was a very good movie, but it was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a theater. So it's some weird new hybrid of "experience" movies we'll probably see from now on.

There definitely wasn't much of a plot but I found it to be quite allegorical, it was more of a visual message than a planned out story to follow. It did kinda drag aside from the great visual action sequences. It was brilliant in it's simplicity if you paid attention to the little details here and there.

I was underwhelmed by Gravity, but I loved the tiny metaphors here and there, all of which dealt with the birthing process. The satellite pieces being the sperm, the obvious fetal position bullock gets into, the water and the "first steps" symbolism at the end, etc. It was cool, but only for its own cleverness rather than its ultimate meaning. But I'm a buzzkill about film, so whatever.

I didn't see the True Grit remake, so I have no idea who you mean. There's like two girls in the movie who aren't Ender's mom. They both hold their own I thought. The kid playing Ender was damn solid. Good choice with him.

He did a great job, but it was really just a lot of scenery chewing, but it was great scenery chewing, and then when he wasn't he was still good.
The kid and Matt Damon are the ones that impressed me and really solidified it into a great film and honest successor.
